Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul is skipping this year’s Fancy Farm Picnic.
A spokesperson for Paul today confirmed he will not attend the political speaking event tomorrow in Graves County. A spokesperson for Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said today there is “no scheduling announcement” with regards to Fancy Farm. Both attended last year.
While there are no major elections this year, political mudslinging is likely to commence from both major parties. On the Republican side scheduled speakers include Congressman James Comer, House Speaker Jeff Hoover, Ag commissioner Ryan Quarles, State Senator Stan Humphries and State Rep. Richard Heath. Democratic speakers are Attorney General Andy Beshear and House Minority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins. Former Democratic House Speaker Bobby Richardson emcees.
